4worldlovers: Giving gift certificates isn't a sign you're out of ideas. It can let friends and family get something they really want and save on time and guesswork, specially for the sophisticated collector or those with very specific taste and wants. A Gift Certificate is always the perfect choice.

I'm always disappointed when I open other orchid sellers boxes...tiny, poorly grown, sick plants.


I order plants from you, they come as fantastic, large, healthy plants.


For a $20 bill, I got what I think of as a specimen plant.


And the blooming Dendrobium / x delicatum that immediately filled my greenhouse with fragrance...


And I love the ferns, live moss, and begonia? growing out of the baskets/mounts.


Makes me seriously question why I ever buy from anyone else!


If your interested in unique orchid (other plant collections)- then this is a nursery.to visit. They request appointment beforehand, primarily because one can get lost in the maze of aisle walkways in the midst of hanging and benched plants. Mr. Andy and the rest of staff are great, polite and very welcoming. If you seeking insight of plant culturing, as well as unique acquisitions... this is a place to schedule a visit.


Quality, Selection, Environment, Customer Service I always enjoy going there, it's the definition of paradise. It's my happy place. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. I just want to buy everything there.

Dear Miryam - My order was delivered and just had a good soak. Lovely plant with a nice new growth. I have a new greenhouse space with plenty of light which should suit it well. I've come to depend on you and Andy's for excellent quality, unusual species and reliable fast shipping with topnotch customer care. Thanks very much and God bless! p.s. All the Brazilian miltonias I got from you last year are doing great - I'm looking forward to flowers this fall.

THANK YOU for such a great group of orchids in my order which I received yesterday. Beautifully packed - everyone was safe and sound. The plants are in great shape. I have just given them their first misting. Thank you again - I already have a second list for my next purchase. Interested especially in Borneo orchids as I was born there and grew up there. Thank you again!

Orchid hobbyists from around the world have realized how rewarding flowering Orchid hybrids can be. Imagine blooming your new hybrid plant and knowing you will be the first person ever to see those flowers! How cool is that? You’ll have a one-of-a-kind plant unique to your collection, like an original piece of art.

Our passion for breeding drives us; we are constantly exploring and discovering new combinations providing the latest and most promising hybrids available. This commitment is evident in everything we do.

We hybridize with the orchid hobbyist in mind and for ourselves as we are also orchid hobbyists. The breeding lines are focused on four primary areas:

Our long-term commitment in the development of our Cattleya breeding program has spanned over 40 years. Our creative abilities have developed many new and unique hybrids. Orchid hobbyists can attest to this, as hundreds of awards have been given to their plants originating from Sunset Valley Orchids. Ask your orchid friends about us, we believe you will find a high level of satisfaction!

In recent years, orchid hobbyists have realized how rewarding the Catasetinae alliance can be. We believe at Sunset Valley Orchids that every orchid hobbyist has a place for these unique plants in their collections. As the top breeder of this group, we lead with cutting edge breeding, developing and breaking new boundaries for orchid enthusiasts worldwide. The development of the “blackest orchid seen,” Fredclarkeara After Dark (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Donna Wise), captured a great deal of attention. The next generation of Catasetinae hybrids we are dreaming of will be even more spectacular. Grow some and be part of that dream!

We take pride in offering only the best grown plants. All of our orchid hybrids are grown from seed; we raise them to maturity in our 48,000 sq. ft. greenhouse space. Our rigorous selection process allows for the strongest plants to be advanced through each phase of the production cycle. This process starts in the lab, at de-flasking, throughout the up-potting, and then carries through to maturity. This rigorous process assures that we offer only the healthiest, most vigorous plants.

We believe our breeding stock is exceptional. Please plan to spend a bit of time looking at our orchid catalog, it is broad and deep. The beautiful pictures of the parents and the extensive descriptions are there to help you visualize the artistic potential of each hybrid. We have spent hundreds of hours developing these new crosses, creating an opportunity for you to acquire one-of-a-kind plants for your orchid collection.

We work hard to provide the best plants and genetics; we want you to become a customer for life! Nothing makes us happier than hearing back from our customers sharing their joy and satisfaction from blooming our hybrids.
